## What it is
oxker is a terminal user interface (TUI) written in Rust for viewing and controlling Docker containers. It uses ratatui for the interface and Bollard for Docker API communication, and is installable via cargo, Docker, Nix, AUR, and Homebrew.

## Use cases
- view docker containers in the terminal
- manage docker containers from a tui
- browse container logs in terminal
- control docker containers without leaving the shell
- terminal dashboard for docker containers
- inspect running containers on a server over ssh

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight terminal-based Docker UI instead of a web dashboard like Portainer
- you work primarily in the terminal or over SSH
- you want a fast, single-binary tool written in Rust

## When to avoid
- you need full Docker management features like image builds, volumes, or networks
- you prefer a graphical or web-based container management interface
- you need Kubernetes or multi-host orchestration support
